💬 What Visitors Say
- Plan for a short but engaging visit (1-2 hours). Reviews note it's a 'short visit but such a fun one' - perfect as a half-day activity rather than all-day destination. This helps set realistic expectations and fits well into a Martha's Vineyard itinerary.
- Take advantage of the alpaca walk experience included in your visit - multiple reviews highlight this as the standout interactive activity. Staff are knowledgeable and eager to answer questions about alpaca care and behavior.
- Be aware that some alpacas can spit - while they're generally calm and well-behaved, supervise children closely during petting and be cautious when getting too close to individual animals' faces.
- Check the online alpaca cam and profile videos before visiting to familiarize kids with the animals and build excitement. This preparation makes the in-person petting experience more meaningful and educational.
- Shop for souvenirs made from real alpaca wool (socks, scarves, hats) in the on-site gift shop. Orders over $100 qualify for free USPS ground shipping if purchased online, offering value for those wanting to bring alpaca products home.
